Praise for Trust and Leadership “For over 100 years, Australian and American forces have fought together as close allies. This important book on Australian Army mission command experiences across the globe shows, again and again, what we can learn from each other as we enter the next 100 years of mateship.” —Nick Warner, AO PSM, Director, General National Intelligence “As the officer entrusted with the codification of Mission Command for the British Army in the mid-1990s, I much looked forward to reading and reviewing this title. I was not disappointed. This work is a most valuable contribution to the study of mission command in an army that has now embodied this decentralized philosophy of command in both doctrine and practice.” —Mungo Melvin, Major General, British Army (Ret.) “Trust and Leadership provides valuable commentaries on command aspects of Australia’s past wars and particularly its more recent operations. Perhaps more importantly, it provides much food for thought for military professionals in both the Australian and U.S. armies. Indeed, it should be required reading for unit commanders and officers attending command and staff colleges.” —Dr. David Horner, Official Historian, Australian Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post-Cold War Operations “There is no question that Trust and Leadership should be a recommended read for Australian audiences as well as those close partners who will continue to work with the Australian Army on operations.
